Eamonn’s This Morning co-host, Ruth, also 59, took to social media to break the sad news of her sister’s passing just days ago.

Uploading an image in which she can be seen with her arm wrapped round her sibling, Ruth explained that Julia had died after a long battle with illness.

She wrote, “My lovely Sis Julia has sadly died after a very long illness. My heart is completely broken. She was the kindest and most gentle soul and I will miss her forever. As I am sure you will appreciate I need to take time to grieve with my family. Thank you for your understanding.”

Many of Ruth’s friends and fans commented on the post to share their condolences. Coleen Nolan simply wrote, “Xxx’, while Kate Thornton said, “Oh Ruth, I’m so sorry to hear that. Thoughts are with you and sending all my love x”.

Just last month Ruth posted a photo of herself with her sister Julia and mum Joan on a day out at a park in Surrey, explaining that they’d had a ‘wonderful visit’.

Joan lived not far from Julia in Surrey, with her husband Paul and daughter Katie, 35.

“Julia had been unwell for quite some time but this has shaken Ruth to the core.
